Maximum principle for optimal control of stochastic partial differential equations

Probability 2012-02-20 v1 Optimization and Control

Abstract

We shall consider a stochastic maximum principle of optimal control for a control problem associated with a stochastic partial differential equations of the following type: d x(t) = (A(t) x(t) + a (t, u(t)) x(t) + b(t, u(t)) dt + [<\sigma(t, u(t)), x(t)>_K + g (t, u(t))] dM(t), x(0) = x_0 \in K, with some given predictable mappings a,b,σ,ga, b, \sigma, g and a continuous martingale MM taking its values in a Hilbert space K,K, while u()u(\cdot) represents a control. The equation is also driven by a random unbounded linear operator A(t,w),  t[0,T],A(t,w), \; t \in [0,T ], on K.K . We shall derive necessary conditions of optimality for this control problem without a convexity assumption on the control domain, where u()u(\cdot) lives, and also when this control variable is allowed to enter in the martingale part of the equation.
